Heavy rain was not going to delay Tennessee's game vs. LSU

As a weather system swept across the eastern half of the country Saturday, numerous games were delayed because of storms. But not in Knoxville.

A line of storms arrived at Neyland Stadium just as the second half began. But since lightning wasn’t close enough to delay the game, it proceeded as scheduled despite the heavy rain. Look at this ridiculousness.

Oh, and a bank of lights went out at the stadium too.

It’s a monsoon in Knoxville. Metal has fallen off a stadium scoreboard and half the lights are out at Neyland Stadium. pic.twitter.com/XOqT01oU7D
